Man has had enough... strip search time.

If only the all the screeners were Victoria's Secret models ... the world would be much happier.

At least I would

Our government is willing to accept and in some cases needs a certain level of violence to continue its self-propagation. The perpetual myth that big government is the only way America will grow and it is the only way you and I will ever be safe again. If government finally admitted the hard truth, that it not only cannot protect individual citizens but has no desire to we would be a much better off society.

Once people begin to take responsibility for themselves and their own lives and stop depending on government for everything from a paycheck and healthcare to “security” we will be better for it. But with this responsibility must come a clear and unmistakable message from the people to the government, one that even the densest of career politicians can understand.

This joke we are becoming to be aware of, that government is attempting to pass off as security is nothing more than some polluted bureaucrats idea of political correctness gone mad, liberal oneness with multi-verse or some such pinko insanity.

The idea that our government will finally wake up if more deaths occur is a stretch at best, it will only elevate the howl from within the political parties for more government regulation and control over our lives and especially our industry now that everyone and everything firmly believes that we are now the enemy simply because in was a plane that was used on 9/11. My evidence to this is the way flight crews are now a special focus by the federal screeners, they seem to garner more than our fair share of attention.

If, God forbid another 9/11 style attack occurred, there would be a cry from the people and the media would point fingers at the screeners, the screeners would point fingers at the government and most likely at the passengers for making their job difficult the blame game would be on and in the end the government would conclude that more government was needed and it is not beyond imagination to see the government step in a “federalize” the airlines completely as a result.

We are one of a dying few if the only nation that has no national or state run airline.

If government had its way…

How's this one...

Doing some personal travel on an AAirline, going through security I get the beep...

Pulled over and asked to take my shoes off. I'm not wearing any socks.

The wand is run over the bottom of my BARE FEET!

What were they looking for? Did they think I had a weapon surgically implanted into the bottom of my foot? That somehow I'd cut my foot open during flight to remove a weapon?

We have definitely lost any common sense in the process since 9/11.

two more cents... now we got a dollor!

Has anyone been through TSA security in a "small town" airport? I timed it, waiting in line, and they averaged about 3 minutes a person!

Commen sense has totally left the building. They also have county sheriff's (one) standing by in case it got crazy. More tax money hard a work.

while on the subject; matching luggage would take a lot of time, but considering anyone could leave god know's what in the checked bags, and leave. HELLO, wake up people.

The terrorist used to be the one to fear... Now its gov. stupidity and snow-jobs that scare me.

End of rant.
